Russian TV news channel Rossiya 24 has aired a trailer for a weekend show featuring former Fox News journalist Tucker Carlson.

The state-run broadcaster did not make clear whether it will feature original content or be a translation of his regular English-language videos on X.

Carlson abruptly left Fox News in April where his populist conservative takes were renowned.

Rossiya 24 has not yet said when the show will air.

The advert, first shared earlier this month, aired again on 22 September with the words "on the weekend" but no further details.

He fucked with the money. $800 million settlement.

If I made 800 million in one pop I'd do nothing the rest of my life and enjoy every second of it.

But this guy decides to cut a contract for a shitty embarrassing twitter show to air in Russia. Wtf

Carlson doesn't need a job. He's an heir to the Swanson frozen dinner fortune. He's worth hundreds of millions. He does what he does for narcissistic supply.

Oh, and he didn't make 800 million. He cost Fox 800 million because Fox didn't want to put him on the stand in the Dominion defamation trial.
